I'm curious if MOH reads like a story? We checked SOTW out of the library and didn't care for the way it reads. We're very unschooly and aren't crazy about textbooks. Can it just be read for fun and still work? History is not my strong area by any means! Or...is there a list of real books in order somewhere that give you a good feel for history?
NO so much. I instructs the student and is obviously written to the reader,but not so much as a story as sotw. We have done both and thin that MOH is like the next level , not boring but not a story
We tend to lean "unschooly" here. We have used MOH and loved how casual it can be. My kids really enjoyed the projects, too. Didn't feel like a burden and related well to the material.
MOH and TruthQuest The best thing for you to do is read MOH samples, since you're the only one who can judge whether you like the way it is written. There are samples online for each of the books, so click on the links at this MOH page. Christian Book Distributors also has MOH, and they have samples online. They may have different lesson samples, so if you want to read more to get more of a feel for MOH, check out the CBD site. If you want guides that let you read through history chronologically using real books, check out TruthQuest History. It includes commentary from a Christian worldview, which you can skip if you don't want to use. Also look at All Through the Ages, which doesn't include commentary.
Thanks, the samples were great. I wish I could get my hands on a real book, I should ask around. I wish the library had it!
